I am soliciting information from those more knowledgable than I. Is there any legal reason why a library would be unable to put items on reserve more than once for the same class taught in different semesters? Has our copyright law gotten that bad? Does anyone’s university or college library have this policy? Alternately, have you put things on reserve more than once for the same course in different semesters without any objections from your library?
